Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a method and system for analyzing complex data quickly and accurately. The system can present data in a way that improves the user's ability to process the information and make informed decisions. It can be used for monitoring, diagnosing, evaluating, and treating the health of dynamic systems, including living organisms, ecological systems, and artificial or man-made systems. The system can also help determine the functioning of a system by measuring the interaction among a set of vital signs. The method and system can organize data into relevant data sets or critical functions and show the relationships between data objects. The system can also simultaneously display the history of data objects and provide both a global and local three-dimensional coordinate space."

Problems solved by technology

Conversely, a failure to use perceptual principles in the appropriate ways can lead to erroneous analysis of information.

Embodiment Construction

[0069]This invention is a method, system and apparatus for the visual display of complex sets of dynamic data. In particular, this invention provides the means for efficiently analyzing, comparing and contrasting data, originating from either natural or artificial systems. This invention provides n-dimensional visual representations of data through innovative use of orthogonal views, form, space, frameworks, color, shading, texture, transparency, sound and visual positioning of the data. The preferred system of this invention includes one or a plurality of networked computer processing and display systems, which provide real-time as well as historical data, and which processes and formats the data into an audio-visual format with a visual combination of objects and models with which the user can interact to enhance the usefulness of the processed data. While this invention is applicable to a wide variety of data analysis applications, one important application is the analysis of hea...

Abstract

A method, system and apparatus for the monitoring, diagnosis and evaluation of the state of a dynamic system is disclosed. This method and system provides the processing means for receiving sensed and / or simulated data, converting such data into a displayable object format and displaying such objects in a manner such that the interrelationships between the respective variables can be correlated and identified by a user. This invention provides for the rapid cognitive grasp of the overall state of a critical function with respect to a dynamic system. The system provides for displayed objects which change in real-time to show the changes of the functions of the system. It is a highly flexible system which works with a wide variety of applications, including biological systems, environmental systems, engineering systems, economic systems, mechanical systems, chemical systems and the like.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 457,068 filed Dec. 7, 1999.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to the visualization, perception, representation and computation of data relating to the attributes or conditions constituting the health state of a dynamic system. More specifically, this invention relates to the display and computation of data, in which variables constituting attributes and conditions of a dynamic system can be interrelated and visually correlated in time as three-dimensional objects.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A variety of methods and systems for the visualization of data have been proposed. Traditionally, these methods and systems fail to present in a real-time multi-dimensional format that is directed to facilitating a user's analysis of multiple variables and the relationships between such multiple variables. Prior methods typically do not process and display da...
